Sewing Bee

[Davros]

Just saw a lovely trailer, it starts on 26th May. Can't wait

dilite, they're not too difficult, it's the threading that's daunting!

Ghislane has had a nightmare!

and theres plenty of step by step threading instructions on You Tube for that one..

Gusset, Gusset, Gusset ...

They must really hate them! All those slippery fabrics.

Wtf is Tracey wearing?! Cannot imagine the fiddliness of sewing a baby gro!

At least some of them aren't making dresses.

Don't like Jamie, he's too sure of himself

Tracey has a fine selection of Home-made tunics.

That gilet's a bit.......um, minimal.....

To be honest I would have made a dress as well. In the time given better safe and finished than out there and unfinished.

Isn't Tracey wearing the same tunic all of the time?

I get the feeling that this lot aren't as good as previous years.
Or am I more critical?

I think you are right SoupDragon. Although it does mean that the best sewer isn't the same person all of the time.

I thought Tracey's tunic was especially childreny tonight! Fair play to them making that baby gro.

Soup, yes, there certainly isn't anyone like Anne, who'd been sewing for 40-50 years and could do pretty much anything - or the lovely Welsh lady (can't recall her name, sorry), or a few others who'd sewn for years and were super-skilled. Maybe the programme-makers thought they wanted a more level - ie less experienced all round - playing-field?

What child would wear a tweed wooden cape?

One that lives in a forest?

I just get the feeling that even the "duffers" from previous years would shine.

I still love it!

It looks like Gislaine might be the one to leave this week.

One that lives in a forest, has a woodcutter for a father and a spectacularly hairy grandmother!

DH still going on about Edna Mole, shouting "no capes" and laughing at his own joke. I should have insisted he went to the pub.

At least your DH is having fun, Cold.

I had a surreptitious snigger at "no capes"

Yes, bless him.

I like the look of the pink cape with applique, DD would be very pleased if I made something like it for her.
